    I have it on my left lower. Do I want it up
    front and center?

    It seems real fresh! I haven't tried it in years. I was never
    a regular user. It seems more robust than I remember.
    It has a salty roasted flavor almost good enough to eat.
    Perhaps I can taste it better now without cigs.

    What about storage for this one can that I opened?
    I will probably stretch it out for a week. Fridge or not
    if I am taking it in and out?

    thanks for your suggestions
    I've only dipped a couple times but I've had a can for about 2-3 weeks and it's still the same as it was when I bought it. It hasn't been fridged or frozen for most of the time, but I put it in the freezer with my snus a couple days ago.

    I can't get used to the spitting and the flavor I got isn't that great. I got Timberwolf Mint Long Cut.

    I think one of these days I'm going to buy some Copenhagen Wintergreen, I've heard it's the god of all dips. lol

      For Snuff and Fine Cut, I had to put right in the center bottom, which is also my gum concern area, and so why I don't use snuff cut or fine cut anymore, I only used a few cans to begin with. I much prefer long cut, because you can pinch or grab it, and I stick it in the side. Years ago, I would have made an ugly face with just the thought of dip, but since I got into snus, I am more open minded to all tobacco items, and I have come to greatly enjoy dip. I've been working on these 2 cans of Kayak(apple and grape). If I just use one can, it usually lasts me about 3 days, and I just use it at home after work. I don't feel comfortable, nor do I think it would be personally comfortable and enjoyable with a big dip in and a spit container while at work, so I save that time for snus, and nasal snuff.

        I have some Copenhagen in right now. I put it front and center this time.
        Most of it has stayed in place. I added some more to it like you
        suggested Tom, after 20 minutes though.

        I think I like the original fine cut. It must hit better with more surface
        area with it being fine cut. It coated my lower gums all the way up
        my teeth.

          I bought a fresh can of Skoal Wintergreen long cut in May. It "expired" on Sept 18. I just opened it this morning. It tastes fine, to me!

            Expired skoal is really hit or miss. Sometimes you'll get a can and it will taste like crap ad its only a day out of date, and sometimes you'll get a can that will taste amazing a couple of weeks after the date...

              Most expired dip I say is fine up to a point. Skoal's expiration date is a long way out though. I remember before I came to school I could still get cans without warning labels that said the skoal was good until late august. I very rarely get expired skoal or cope though unlike pretty much every other dip.

                Usually a can of dip is still fresh after 20 - 30 maximum after opening the can.... even if you don't keep it in the refrigerator. It starts drying up after 30 days.....

                If you freeze them they're ok even after months... I've got cans that are 2 months old, they've been frozen and they're just like new... I guess they can keep up to one year...

                  This was two months ago. The can was returned for Coppenhagen of which half of it is still in my
                  fridge. While we're at it how long is an opened can of hagen good for if kept in the fridge?

                  Edit:
                  I guess you said 20-30 days. I figure I'll shit can it.

                    20 - 30 days in the refrigerator or in the room temperature.. it's pretty much the same thing....

                    After 14 days I take all the mixture out of the can an mix it well in a bowl to give it a bit of freshness ..
                    :-)

                    Anything kept open for longer than 30 days is good to smoke in your pipe, lol

                      No the only plant material I smoke is hemp. Someday I plan to vape.
                      It can be used as an insecticide. One garden book recommended putting
                      a pouch of Redman in a nylon stocking and soaking it in boiling water.
                      Then put the mixture in a hose end sprayer or tank.

                          Eh cope snuff goes bad after like 2 days it's a joke, I'm not kidding I mean it's dippable and still tases good but it dries out loses flavor faster etc. I never worry about it, the only way something goes bad in my book is if it's weaker or more abrasive to your mouth.
